This makes the bear case \u201ca lot harder to argue,\u201d Rasgon concluded.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Groq is a low-risk deal for NVDA shares<\/h2>\n<p>While Groq marks the biggest deal Nvidia has announced since its inception, Rasgon believes it\u2019s still small relative to the giant\u2019s multi-trillion-dollar market cap.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Bernstein analyst dubbed it a \u201cbolt-on\u201d acquisition, meaning it offers significant upside at a low financial risk.<\/p>\n<p>On <em>CNBC<\/em>, he argued Nvidia\u2019s scale positions it to absorb such transactions without disrupting its balance sheet or investor expectations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey can do a $20 billion deal on Christmas Eve with no press release, and nobody would bat an eye.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For shareholders, the takeaway is clear: Groq deal strengthens NVDA\u2019s overall positioning within the AI ecosystem \u2013 with minimal downside risk.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nvidia is widening the gap with rivals<\/h2>\n<p>By bringing Groq\u2019s expertise in inference into its ecosystem, Nvidia is not just neutralising a bear case \u2013 it is extending its lead over competitors.<\/p>\n<p>Rivals like AMD and Intel have struggled to match Nvidia\u2019s dominance in training workloads, and now face an even steeper challenge in inference.<\/p>\n<p>Groq\u2019s architectures promise faster, more efficient processing for real\u2011time AI applications, from autonomous vehicles to generative AI services.<\/p>\n<p>Integrating these capabilities into Nvidia\u2019s roadmap widens the performance gap, making it even more difficult for competitors to catch up.<\/p>\n<p>The deal signals NVDA intends to own the full AI stack, reinforcing its position as the undisputed leader in the semiconductor industry.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Wall Street recommends playing Nvidia shares<\/h2>\n<p>Despite a strong rally in NVDA stock this year, Wall Street expects it to rally further in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The consensus rating on Nvidia shares currently sits at \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barchart.com\/stocks\/quotes\/NVDA\/analyst-ratings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">strong buy<\/a>\u201d, with the mean target of about $256 indicating potential upside of roughly 30% from here.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2025\/12\/28\/nvidia-stock-how-groq-deal-removes-the-last-remaining-bear-case\/\">Nvidia stock: how Groq deal removes the last remaining bear case<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/\">Invezz<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon says Nvidia\u2019s (NASDAQ: NVDA) recent deal with the California-based artificial intelligence (AI) startup, Groq, removes the last remaining bear case from its stock.
